Israel

Adi Fishman (est. birth 1988, possibly in Gush Katif, Gaza) – from a religious Zionist background, graduate of “Ma’alah” School of Film in Jerusalem, famous for bridging between film arts and traditional Judaism. Her first book, whose title translates as “All the Roads Home” (late 2025-early 2026), gives expression to the severe trauma experienced in the religious-Zionist community in Israel by the forced exit from the Israeli settlements in the Gaza disengagement of 2005, and to its lingering after-effects. In this book, not yet translated into English, Natali Rashavsky, a 16-year old girl from this community goes missing without explanation. It turns out she has stolen into Gaza in an effort to revisit the home in which she grew up, leading to a tense family drama. The book was written before the events of Oct. 7, 2023. [Google/AI]
